As for the two women from Cerbero, they also appeared and said to Totsuka, "The Vongola side has damaged the competition venue and must be punished."

"Huh?" Sawada Tsunayoshi hadn't expected this at all. After secretly glancing at the boy, he shook his head. "We didn't do it. It was just an accident!"

"This is a match venue that you arranged in Cerbero that is not in accordance with the rules," Totsuka said directly. "It's about to explode inside, yet you don't care about the lives of the two players. Such a match is meaningless."

“As punishment, the Vongola must hand over the Sky Ring.” Cerberus tried to reach out and take the ring off Sawada Tsunayoshi’s neck, but Totsuka blocked him.

"Wait, this destruction of the site has nothing to do with the Vongola." Totsuka pointed at Gilgamesh. "He's not a member of the Vongola; it was just an accident!"

Gilgamesh raised an eyebrow slightly and snorted, "Vongola? What's that?" As he spoke, he walked to the boy's side, put his arm around him, and said, "Aren't you leaving?"

“This…” Cerberus looked at the person covered in golden light and spoke with difficulty, “As the one who disrupted the Vongola Ring Battle, don’t you have any explanation?”

Gilgamesh's blood-red eyes swept over the two of them. "You scum, who gave you permission to look up at me!"

"This king?" Sawada Tsunayoshi was silently pondering. How could this guy, who looked like someone not to be trifled with, be so intimate with Totsuka? And who would address him like that these days? He felt like his worldview was about to be turned upside down!

Gilgamesh's imposing aura had already intimidated the already trembling Cerberus, causing him to take several steps back. Seeing that negotiations were failing, he immediately turned and declared, "The battle of the Rain Guardians will be held tomorrow night. As for those who disrupt the competition, they will naturally be dealt with..."

Before he could finish speaking, he had already vanished without a trace.

“Tatara.” Sawada Tsunayoshi glanced at the bright-eyed person, then turned his gaze to Totsuka. “Thanks to you, Gokudera was alright just now.”

Gokudera has now fallen into a coma, and he probably won't know what happened in the end.

Everything happened so suddenly that Shishu's lips twitched. He decided to take his people back first. As for the remaining battle of the guardians, he hoped it could be resolved smoothly.

“Gil, and Enkidu…” Totsuka looked at the two of them, “We need to have a serious talk.”

Author's Note: Namimori will continue to suffer destruction, *facepalm*... Hibari will appear in the next chapter.

Chapter 100097 The Lark's Wrathful Cloud Fire

Returning home with several Heroic Spirits, Totsuka was able to meet two old friends in the mortal realm, and for the first time, he seriously wanted to have a proper conversation with them. Perhaps he had always been blind to Gilgamesh's feelings, or perhaps Gilgamesh had become increasingly difficult to communicate with as he grew older; in any case... it was time to properly resolve the issues between them.

Upon seeing this, Diarmuid disappeared, as his past was not something he could be involved in.

Gilgamesh watched as the figure that had been clinging to the boy disappeared, a slight smile playing on his lips. He sat down on the luxurious sofa he had specially made and had the boy sit beside him. "Randy, what do you want to say?"

“Let me tell you what you’ve always wanted to know.” Totsuka casually sat down next to Gil, looking at the two of them. “I’ve always lived in this world; my arrival in yours was purely by chance…”

Totsuka, of course, didn't mention the system's existence or mission; he only described what he had seen and heard in that world, and his joy at meeting the two of them. Gilgamesh didn't find anything wrong with this account. Enkidu also nodded silently, indicating that he understood perfectly.

“But I can’t stay there forever.” Totsuka got to the crucial point, which made the two of them stare at him intently. Totsuka paused for a moment, then continued, “But if there’s one thing I can do before I leave, it’s that I hope you two will be well and that the gods won’t take your lives.”

"So, you're doing this by dying?" Gilgamesh's blood-red eyes darkened. This only made him feel how powerless he had been, unable to snatch his beloved from the hands of death.

"However, perhaps it was precisely because I did this..." Totsuka then launched into a complete fabrication, "The harvest goddess Ishtar may have suffered a setback in her faith. At the moment of my death, I gained the bloodline of a harvest goddess equivalent to hers and was able to return to my original world. But the memories of my time with you are still deeply etched in my mind. I thought we would never meet again..."

Enkidu nodded knowingly. "No wonder Ishtar never appeared again. After the Bull of Heaven was taken back to the heavens, there was no news of him either." It was because of the boy's death that the subsequent disaster was averted. Enkidu, created by the goddess, understood that if it weren't for the boy, he himself would probably have faced death.

"It's so good to see you all again." Totsuka looked at the back of his hand, where there were no markings now. "Perhaps participating in the Holy Grail War was fate guiding us to meet again."

The boy's words brought smiles to Gilgamesh and Enkidu's faces, a warmth spreading through their hearts. The doubts and worries they had harbored seemed to dissipate. If the boy's death hadn't left such a deep scar on their hearts, Gilgamesh wouldn't have wanted to keep the boy by his side constantly upon seeing him. And tonight, discovering the boy was missing, he was even more anxious.

"I understand that I made you worry." Totsuka reached out and grasped their hands with both of his, but soon his hands were enveloped by both of them at the same time.

Totsuka smiled slightly, her eyes fixed on the two of them. "However, now that you've been brought to the world, we have plenty of time. You don't need to waste all your time on me anymore." As she said this, Totsuka's tone became more forceful. "Especially Gil!"

Gilgamesh kneaded the boy's warm, soft hand, raising an eyebrow. "Hmm? You think I'm wasting my time?"

Totsuka nodded without hesitation and said, word by word, "Because I can't give you any feelings other than friendship."

Enkidu blinked and immediately focused his attention on Gilgamesh. He knew very well that Gilgamesh was unwavering in his convictions.

Just as expected, Gilgamesh glanced at the boy indifferently when he heard his words, and said directly, "That's just because you haven't admitted it yet. Ever since the gods sent you to my side, it was already destined that you would become my wife."

Jisou's brow twitched. Even after all that, he still couldn't dissuade Gilgamesh? It had to be said, this guy's mind wasn't easily swayed! But then he began to talk about the Ring Battle that day, "The people you met today are also my friends in this world. I knew them before I met you. After all, the Ring Battle is very important to them, and I hope you, Gilgamesh, won't harm my companions."

Gilgamesh was about to explode in anger, but he was taken aback by the boy's next words. "I don't want to control you. You should know that I am the one in control of magic right now." Totsuka gently curled the corners of his mouth and said slowly, "You have always been willful. I know you will be unhappy with this approach, so try to control your temper as much as you can, Gilgamesh."

Enkidu chuckled, and after receiving a glare from Gilgamesh, he immediately waved his hand and said, "What Randy said, hmm, not bad."

Gilgamesh lowered his eyes, glanced at the boy, and snorted softly, "You're getting bolder and bolder, indulging in my favor."

Jiro's lips twitched at Gilgamesh's words, and he could only make a concluding statement, "In short, they are very important, and I will be going to the Ring Battle for a while, as long as you don't cause any more trouble, Gilgamesh."

After stating his basic position, Totsuka withdrew his hands and nodded to Enkidu, saying, "I have to trouble you here, Enkidu. After all, there are more ordinary people in this world. With you by Gil's side, please take good care of him."

Enkidu, seeing Gilgamesh's displeased expression, chuckled and said, "I'm not sure, I can only do my best."

"Alright, go and rest." Totsuka felt there was still a lot to do, and hoped nothing serious would happen. As for the school building being destroyed, the Vongola should have a solution, right?

In the next battle against the Rain Guardians, to prevent Gilgamesh from suddenly disrupting the match again, Totsuka specifically instructed Enkidu to keep an eye on him, and he went to participate alone without even bringing Diarmuid.

This time, there were also armed troops in Namimori Middle School. When Totsuka saw a group of masked people guarding the school, he couldn't help but wonder if this scene was caused by Gilgamesh.

However, upon seeing the person wearing a disciplinary armband and carrying crutches, Totsuka immediately broke into a bright smile. "Hibari, you've come to watch the match too?"

Hibari Kyoya glanced at Totsuka, his narrow eyes narrowing slightly, looking somewhat displeased. "You're back, and you didn't even report to me?"

Totsuka immediately remembered that he had promised Hibari beforehand if anything happened when he asked for leave, but he had forgotten after returning. Since he hadn't kept his promise, Totsuka immediately bowed and apologized, "I'm sorry, Hibari, I completely forgot. I found out there was a Ring Battle taking place as soon as I got back, and I thought you would definitely come, so I didn't..."

Hibari Kyoya withdrew his gaze from the boy and turned to the group of people beside him. "These people are the ones who vandalized the school building?"

Totsuka straightened up and saw Hibari Kyoya pass by him, heading straight towards the group. Was Hibari no longer angry, or were these people more displeasing to him? However, regarding the vandalism of the school building… he would never admit it was related to him.

Watching Hibari walk up to those people and knock one of them away with his crutch, Totsuka chuckled dryly, "Hibari, we could actually go straight to the competition venue." He genuinely felt these people were quite innocent!

Hibari Kyoya snorted coldly and said directly, "Gather in groups and bite to death!"

"We'll stake the honor of the Levi Lightning Strike Team on this! We won't let you through here!" The man blocking the way held a weapon, trying to defend himself against this dangerous individual.

Yun Que completely ignored their words and directly used the crutch to knock the rest of them unconscious.

Totsuka secretly glanced at these people from behind and silently wished them well, hoping they would never set foot on Namimori Middle School again, after all, this was where the disciplinary committee chairman who protected the school was located.

When Hibari continued walking forward, Totsuka followed without much thought. Hibari's pace remained unhurried, sending those who approaching flying one by one. Totsuka followed behind with ease, and he increasingly felt that Chairman Hibari's fighting prowess was extraordinary.

"Hibari, have you agreed to participate in this Guardian's War?" Totsuka took a few steps closer to him. "With you participating, the Ring Battle won't be a problem."

"Wow, you think I'd become that kind of foolish guardian?" Hibari Kyoya glanced around, his voice tinged with annoyance. "Disrupting discipline at school, those herbivores are getting bolder and bolder!"

"Uh... Hibari, you clearly accepted the Cloud Ring." Totsuka had heard from Reborn that Dino had also come here to teach Hibari. But when Totsuka thought of Dino, he remembered him as someone who couldn't even walk properly. Someone with that kind of physique could probably only complete the task of teaching Hibari in front of his subordinates.

Hibari gave a mocking smile, didn't answer Totsuka again, and strode out. Once everyone who had tried to stop them was gone, they took another path to the area where the Vongola and Varia groups were gathered.

"Hibari-senpai, and Tatara too!" Sawada Tsunayoshi's eyes lit up when he saw the newcomers. "Hibari-kun has finally come to participate in the Ring Battle!"

Seeing Tsuna's delighted expression, Totsuka really didn't want to shatter his happy illusions. But what exactly could he do to get Hibari to become the Cloud Guardian?!

[As long as Hibari Kyoya participates in the Ring Battle, he will naturally become a Guardian. The host only needs to assist him in the battle.]

In other words, all that matters is that Hibari participates in the competition. Totsuka's gaze swept over the Varia group. For Hibari, it wasn't the competition he cared about, but rather the school itself.

"The charge of illegally trespassing on the school." Hibari Kyoya's gaze swept over the Varia members, and when he noticed the shards of glass on the ground, his tone grew even colder. "Add to that the charge of damaging the school building, and based on joint liability..." Hibari then looked at the Vongola group, "I'm going to bite everyone here to death!"

As expected… Totsuka sighed. Hibari’s thoughts were really too easy to guess. As for Sawada Tsunayoshi, who was hit hard by Hibari’s words, his face was also twisted in pain.

With such a guardian, Tsuna will have a tough time in the future. Thinking this, Totsuka couldn't help but look at Tsuna with a touch of sympathy.

Following the referee's rules, Cerbero asked Hibari, "Are you the owner of the Sawada family ring?"

Hibari turned around and looked at the woman who had spoken.

Levi, whose subordinate had been injured, rushed out, angrily shouting, "You brat, you actually killed my man..."

"The Guardians forbid private duels!" Cerberus tried to stop them, but was shoved aside by the angry Levi.

Seeing Levi about to draw his weapon, Totsuka immediately stepped forward, a smile on his face. "Oh, Levi, are you going to personally take to the field because of your subordinates' incompetence?"

Hibari Kyoya, who was originally about to make a move, smiled slightly when he saw the boy's performance.

When Levi saw the boy, he couldn't help but imagine what he would look like ten years later. He hesitated for a moment, then put his weapon away. "Hmph, the crime of harming my men, will be dealt with after the Ring War..."

“No.” Totsuka shook his head, interrupting Levi. “With your abilities, you’re far from being able to deal with Hibari. I just don’t want you to make things difficult for yourself and ruin the match.”

The boy's smile was gentle and kind, but his words were so blunt they made one want to vomit blood. Levi's face twitched a few times, but he had no idea how to respond.

Hibari Kyoya's mood improved considerably, and he no longer looked as annoyed as before when he looked at the people around him.

Totsuka glanced furtively at Hibari, and seeing the smile on his lips, she felt a little relieved. Looking at the others from Varia, she asked, "Who is the Cloud Guardian here?"

When the boy asked them, Mammon replied quite naturally, "Gora Mosca, that's the robot behind me."

"Oh?" Totsuka looked the robot up and down. He didn't expect that Varia didn't even have Cloud Guardians, but instead used a robot to fill the gap?

"You've been provoked, aren't you going to fight back?" Squalo glanced at Levi, then turned his gaze to the boy. Was it really because the boy's figure ten years later was too alluring? In any case, he's just a good-looking kid now.

"Hey!" Squalo drew his sword from his left hand and yelled at Hibari, "You brat, do you want to be chopped into pieces?"

Hibari Kyoya glanced sideways at Squalo, "Wow, want to be bitten to death?"

Seeing the atmosphere tense up again, Totsuka turned to face the loud-voiced guy. "You must be the Rain Guardian, right? Win the Rain War first. Doesn't your boss worry about you losing the Ring War?"

"Hey! You brat, you're being way too arrogant!" Squalo immediately shifted his target, pointing his sword at Totsuka. "You think that defeating Levi will stop your defeat?"

Totsuka stopped Hibari from rushing forward and leaned against him to prevent him from making a move at any moment. "Under these circumstances, Hibari, you don't need to take action. When they lose, there will be nothing left for them to boast about."

The moment the boy approached, Hibari Kyoya lowered his cannon, and even when the boy leaned intimately against him, he didn't have the slightest intention of pushing him away. Conversely, his initial anger completely dissipated under these circumstances, and he smirked, "Heh, I'll let it go this time."

Totsuka turned his head and quickly gave Tsuna a wink. Sawada Tsunayoshi, who had been standing there in a daze, finally reacted and looked at Yamamoto Takeshi.

When Yamamoto Takeshi saw the boy and Hibari in that position, his originally cheerful smile faded, and his face showed some helplessness. "Well, let's start the battle of rain first."

Cerberus nodded quickly, "Next, we will have the battle between the Rain Guardians. Please, other Guardians, do not engage in private duels!"

As Varia and her group left, Totsuka quickly took a few steps back. Directly blocking Hibari had truly been a challenge for him.

Hibari Kyoya frowned slightly, seemingly displeased with the boy's reaction. Reborn then jumped onto Totsuka's shoulder and nodded to Hibari, "Ciao'su, Hibari."

"A baby?" Hibari Kyoya turned his gaze to Reborn. "What is it?"

“If we can be patient for now and participate in the Ring Battle,” Reborn said slowly, a smirk playing on his lips, “we might have the chance to fight Rokudo Mukuro in the near future.”

Totsuka looked at Reborn. Did he already know that Rokudo Mukuro was going to participate in the competition? Ever since Hibari Kyoya was stopped from fighting Rokudo Mukuro in the Kokuyo Tournament, Hibari must have been unwilling to accept it.

"Heh." Upon hearing this, Hibari Kyoya scoffed and turned his gaze to the other person who remained, Cerberus. "Repair all the damaged school buildings for me."

"Yes," Cerbero nodded. "We at Cerbero will take full responsibility." Of course, while saying this, Cerbero secretly glanced at the boy, but didn't say anything more.

Hibari Kyoya glanced at the crowd one last time, his gaze lingering on the boy for a moment. "Goodbye." He had only come here to punish those who had vandalized the school building, and now that he couldn't take action, he naturally didn't want to stay in such a crowded place any longer.

Totsuka smiled and replied, "Hibari, goodbye."

Sawada Tsunayoshi and his group stared blankly as Hibari left. After Hibari left, Sawada Tsunayoshi let out a slow breath and looked at Totsuka with a hint of admiration. "That's great, Tatara. At least the competition can proceed as planned."
